The Queen's Thousand Trees

The princess went back to the garden and plopped down beneath an oak tree that grew in the corner. As she leaned against the rough gray trunk, a gentle breeze stirred the branches above. Every time the wind blows the tree drops more acorns. The princess grabbed an acorn, clutched it in her hand, then sprinted back to the palace. When the queen saw her daughter come running in, she crossed her arms and tilted her crowned head.
